peer agreement (net): +4freeman Explanation: freeman, freewoman (a person who is not a serf or a slave) http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?o2=&o0=1&o7=&o5=&... The Freeman (Admission) Act 1763 is an Act of the Parliament of Great Britain (3 Geo III c. 15). The Act withheld the right to vote in Parliamentary elections, in those boroughs where honorary freemen could vote, from any freemen admitted to the freedom within twelve months of the first day of the election; it did not affect the rights of ordinary freemen, admitted by the custom of the borough in question. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeman_(Admission)_Act_1763 Freeman: Someone who held the full rights of citizenship, such as voting and engaging in business (as opposed to an indentured servant or apprentice). In medieval times, a freeman, (a franklin) was a man, not of noble birth, who held his land in free socage as compared to one who held in base or villein socage. http://www.lincolnwaites.org.uk/definitions.shtml |
